* Genre - Indie Folk. Similar to "The Oh Hello's" softer, slower paced songs like "hello my old heart" *

The pain to be
And the glory to come
Didn't remind me why I was overdone
So don't put me aside
I'm still alright
Keep me swaddled in lullabies all through the night

In a volatile worthless life
What's left to save
But the chance to leave it?
But you won't ever move on
Until you realize everything has a reason
for being and unfolding
One that doesn't change with the season
It's more black and white than you might think

One can only wake up
Getting rid of all ignorance and desire
But my heart didn't see it as all that dire
To eradicate some apathy so I could dedicate myself to you
So for my soul, please reanimate

Fear if you may
But fear too long and death comes close
It's a bit on the nose
But you gotta accept the generous truth
Or else what are you gonna do?
Squander what you have finding something new
Like arguing politics or watching the news?

The pain to be
And the glory to come
Didn't didn't remind me why I was overdone
So don't put me aside
I'm still alright
Keep me swaddled in lullabies all through the night
Because you're right
I've been living a lie
I've been living in fright
And when I fear,
Death comes close
Way too close
But once more, let me know
Of the pain to be
And glory to come
